No doubt offended by the Mavericks’ comments after he left in a trade, Luka Doncic seems to have started a new regime over the last few months. His transformation seems to be confirmed in one image.

Since the Luka Doncic trade, the Mavericks have stepped up their tackling of the player, via Nico Harrison in particular. His defense has been criticized most often, as has his behavior with referees and, finally, his weight. A sensitive area since his arrival in the NBA, so much so that some journalists had criticized him in the past.

For example, we learned that Doncic had a habit of returning to training camp in September with a few extra kilos. This undoubtedly annoyed Harrison on his side, leading to his trade in February. So some wondered if the Slovenian intended to change anything now that he’s with the Lakers.

Luka Doncic at his best now?

It has to be said that Doncic has been very happy since his arrival in Los Angeles, and with LeBron James by his side, he has all the help he needs to take care of his body and exploit his potential to the full. And in recent days, with Luka’s public appearances, many seem to have noticed a weight loss.

It’s a phrase that seems to be repeated every summer, and has been for some years now. Doncic always seems to lose a little weight, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll stay that way until the summer. We’ll have a chance to see him at EuroBasket in August, but for the moment, this physical transformation seems clear enough to behold.

“The NBA is in trouble.”

We can’t confirm the authenticity of the two photos, but the difference is quite clear and seems to confirm the player’s recent videos. The weight loss is definitely there and wouldn’t be surprising, almost two months after the Lakers’ elimination in the playoffs. It remains to be seen how much stronger Doncic will be on the floor from now on.
